There’s more to language learning than picking up dates in a foreign country. We investigated some of the craziest methods of adult language education out there.

The launch requires a bank angle to give the correct climb to altitude that is followed by a reverse turn that leaves the aircraft in the correct attitude for the glide with minimum sink rate.
Only a small part of my desire to fall off the planet is the fact that I am indeed learning to drive. While I am slowly becoming more comfortable with my level of control, on the whole I still find it intimidating and nerve wracking. And I haven't even gone to some of the busier parts of town yet. Today I ran into several imaginary cars because parking does not seem to be my strong suit. I have, however, survived a somewhat long journey on the interstate for a trip that preceded my falling off the planet.

Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
am Kelly Dumont from Canyons School District in Sandy, Utah.
This is my primary learning space as others share their thoughts and ideas online.

Interested in learning? Have a look at the presentation of George Siemens: www.icwe.net/oeb_special/downloads/siemens/presentation2/...
Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
Well the good old days may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
Well some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I've started out, for God knows where
I guess I'll know when I get there
I'm learning to fly, around the clouds
But what goes up must come down
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

After yesterday's buckle shinin', another new American word for me to learn was 'bobtail'.
Bobtailing is when a semi-truck is traveling without an attached trailer. This can occur when a semi-truck is in the process of picking up a trailer (and has no trailer to deliver) or is returning from delivery (and has no trailer to pick up). Bobtails are a common sight on Texas highways.
Once again, James McMurtry's lyrics are spot on. Unfortunately if you follow the song to the end, there is a sad ending.
"She's been green breaking horses when she's home from the road,
Waiting on dispatch to find her a load.
She leased all but the trap, ponies can't graze a thing,
Another bobtail of coastal ought to last them 'til spring.
Randy says not to worry, he'll feed while she's gone.
She's got the Freightliner idling half up on his lawn.
He don't like her driving when the northers come blue
But if the horses went hungry Lord knows what she'd do"
jukebox # 505
Here is a rather good solo live version of the same song.

Learning the violin as an adult was a challenge. I had to learn a lot of new muscle controls. I had to learn how to hear and I had to learn to read music and music theory ideas like keys and time signature. I like it.
Keio University is a private, comprehensive higher education institution located on six campuses spread across the Greater Tokyo area. It offers an environment of academic and research excellence in a wide range of fields, and includes a university hospital. Founded in 1858, it is Japan’s first modern institution of higher learning, and over the last century and a half it has established itself as a leader in Japan through its continued commitment to education, research and medicine.
Keio has its origins in the school of Western learning established by Yukichi Fukuzawa, a school which soon evolved into a major center of learning. As a highly respected educator and intellectual, Fukuzawa was one of the pioneers of modern Japan. He aspired for Keio to become a model and leader of society, stressing the importance of learning that is based on jitsugaku, or “science”. In today’s changing world, Keio upholds its founder’s spirit of science as it continues to fulfill his aspiration.
Early childhood education is the organized practice of educating those who are in early childhood, one of the most vulnerable stages in life. According to the NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children), it spans the human life from birth to age eight.
Early childhood education often focuses on children learning through play.
The terms preschool education and kindergarten emphasize education around the ages of 3-6 years. The terms "early childhood learning," "early care," and "early education" are comparable with early childhood education. The terms Day care and Childcare do not embrace the educational aspects. Many childcare centers are now using more educational approaches. They are creating curricula and incorporating it into their daily routines to foster greater educational learning.
Researchers in the field and early childhood educators both view the parents as an integral part of the early childhood education process. Early childhood education takes many forms depending on the beliefs of the educator or parent.
Much of the first two years of life are spent in the creation of a child's first "sense of self" or the building of a first identity. This is a crucial part of children's makeup—how they first see themselves, how they think they should function, how they expect others to function in relation to them. For this reason, early care must ensure that in addition to employing carefully selected and trained caretakers, program policy must emphasize links with family, home culture, and home language, meaning caregivers must uniquely care for each child using Developmentally Appropriate Practice, Individually Appropriate Practice and Culturally Appropriate Practice. Care should support families rather than be a substitute for them.
If a young child doesn't receive sufficient nurturing, nutrition, parental/caregiver interaction, and stimulus during this crucial period, the child may be left with a developmental deficit that hampers his or her success in preschool, kindergarten, and beyond.
Worst-case scenarios such as those found in Russian and Romanian orphanages demonstrate how the lack of proper social interaction and development of attachment affect the developing child. Children must receive attention and affection to develop in a healthy manner.
Most of my learning happens online, using a variety of tools that allow me
to learn from others online. Twitter, Youtube and my Google Reader let me
learn from a wide variety of experts, enthusiasts, other teachers, and other
learners no matter what the topic. Right now I'm getting prepared to move
from Maine (US) to Tokyo (Japan), so I'm connecting with expats in Tokyo,
watching video of recent hanami parties under the cherry blossoms, reading
blog posts about restaurants and food in Tokyo, hearing about tremors and
earthquakes from those experiencing them, and getting a much more current,
well rounded idea of Tokyo today than I would from a book written even just
a few years ago. This is a screenshot of my laptop, so the "where" I learn
in the real world is wherever I have a wifi connection - be it on my laptop,
iPad or Droid phone - as these resources are all accessible no matter where
I am. Thanks for the opportunity to share, Dean!
I'm in Wiscasset, Maine, @edueyeview on twitter, and sutterview on Flickr.
Can't wait to see what else gets sent in -

“Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast how
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?"

We revisited the amazing Wright Brothers National Park on our 'Travels with Jason.' The memorial is placed very near the hill that Wilbur and Orville Wright used to propel their plane for the first test flights. It is definitely worth seeing if you are in the area and the beaches are quite beautiful too!
I have learnt so much from the Hero Arts blog in the last year, I have tried to incorporate a few of them in the remake of this original card www.flickr.com/photos/25457269@N07/2399056300 /.
I had never thought of colouring in a stamped solid image or adding highlights until I saw it on the blog, nor had I distressed the edges of my cards or tried stitching (thanks Shari for this technique).
